Compare the demographics of occupants of developments in the jurisdiction, for each category ofpublicly supported housing (public housing project -based Section 8, Other Multifamily Assisted developments, properties converted under RAD, and LIHTQ to the demographic composition of the areas in which they are located For the jurisdiction, describe whether developments that are primarily occupied by one race%thnicity are located in areas occupied largely by the same race%thnicity.
